2004 Hyundai Elantra GT Sedan
How long have you owned your Elantra?
It will be 7 great years next month.
Is there anything special, unique, or different concerning the history of your Elantra?
Not really. Seems to have had the typical problems you can find in discussion throughout the forum. It is listed as a pickup on the title though :P
Honestly, what was your intention when you bought your Elantra?
To buy an affordable car with a good reputation and decent gas mileage.
What was your intention after discovering EXD (or other Hyundai forums)?
It was to find out if a set of rims I found online would fit, but once I got deeper into the forums content, a modder was born!
In one word describe the style of your Elantra.
Beautious...
Who helped modify your Elantra?
Two of the forum members, Swifty and Pete..... yes, again, Pete, lol.
What do you like most about your Elantra?
The fact that it has been so hassle free for 7 years. General maintenance seems to keep it happy.
What do you like least about your Elantra?
The cost of parts from the dealership!
What modification is next for your Elantra?
None. Driving it to the grave now.
On a scale from 0-10, how would you rate your Elantra?
8. It has been awesome!
Most commonly, what do people say about your Elantra?
"What kind of car is that?" or "I like your rack!"
Who is allowed to drive your Elantra?
My wife tried once, but no one else has ever driven it.
What is the most outrageous thing you have wanted to do to your car that you have not been able to do?
Thought about an airbag system a long time ago, and that would have been it, but I'm glad I went the springs route.
What kind of car did you own (or drive) before your Elantra?
1999 Ford Ranger Flareside with the off-road package.
Realistically, what kind of car is next?
Looking at the new Elantra or Sonata. Depends on where gas prices are when it comes time for that.
